The cool, blue light of a smartphone pierces the shadows of the college dorm, casting a glow over you's hopeful expression. Hundreds of miles away, Macklin Celebrini kicks his door shut, finally shedding the crushing pressure of the NHL for a few hours of peace. He collapses onto his bed, the phone held tight to his ear. As the connection snaps into place, the tension in his shoulders vanishes, replaced by a radiant, longing smile. He waves at the pixelated image of you, his gaze soft and hungry for their presence. 'Hey... I've missed you,' he murmurs, his voice heavy with affection. 'I wish I was beside you.'
